/docs/Structure.md:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | ## Sentences
2 |
3 | Sentences can be read from left-to-right or right-to-left. It makes no difference to the meaning.
4 |
5 | The following sentence can be read as either of these:
6 | * tode speaks to berd.
7 | * berd is spoken to by tode.
8 |
9 | 
10 |
11 | The direction of the wind symbol indicates who the subject is, and who the object is.
12 |
13 | In this example, it's flipped around:
14 | * berd speaks to tode
15 | * tode is spoken to by berd.
16 |
17 | 
18 |
19 | In this final example, it's bi-directional:
20 | * berd and tode speak to each other.
21 |
22 | 
23 |
24 | More than one phrase can exist in a single sentence:
25 | * tode likes berd. tode speaks to berd.
26 |
27 | 
28 |
29 | ## Lines
30 |
31 | Lines are read from bottom to top. Make sure to leave enough of a gap to indicate that they are separate lines.
32 |
33 | * tode goes to berd. tode speaks to berd.
34 |
35 |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | ## Sounds
2 |
3 | If you're a human, you probably find it hard to make tode noises.
4 |
5 | Instead, you can use these similar sounds.
6 | There are two choices for each sound. Say whatever flows easiest in the sentence.
7 |
8 | 
9 |
10 | The following audio shows how to pronounce each one. It reads them from top-left, to bottom-right. Note: Pronunciation is not strict.
11 |
12 | https://github.com/TodePond/TodeTode/assets/15892272/952e83af-c403-474b-8c2d-03877ec27d49
13 |
14 | ## Order
15 |
16 | Read from:
17 | * outside-in
18 | * bottom-to-top
19 |
20 | As an example, let's take the word for 'don't like':
21 |
22 | 
23 |
24 | It's `wind (rain (bot (tode))) fire`.
25 | Or in other words, `woo lo da ra cur`.
26 | You could shorten this. All of these are valid as well:
27 | * `woolodarac`
28 | * `woolaracur`
29 | * `woolarac`
30 |
31 | Consider using the longer version if you want to emphasise the word, or in a more formal setting. Use the shorter one if it doesn't matter so much, or you're in a rush.
32 |
33 | Combined with some other words, you could say `ruruh woolarac dat`.
34 | This means "I don't like robots".
35 |
36 | 
37 |
38 | ## Direction
39 |
40 | Sentences can be read in either direction.
41 |
42 | This means that wind sounds will be different depending on whether you're reading from right-to-left or left-to-right.
43 |
44 | * Forwards: `w / woo`
45 | * Backwards: `ee-w / ee-woo`
46 | * Bidirectional: `oo-w / oo-woo`
47 |
48 | ## Exceptions
49 |
50 | Tode-tode can also be pronounced as `uh-r / uh-ruh` (instead of just `ruh-r / ruh-ruh`)
